I've never understood the squeamishness that some men appear to feel

I don't see the problem.

Furthermore, I have no objection to shopping in general - we have
always done the shopping together.

My local supermarket makes a point of moving everything around every
couple of months so that even the employees can't find things. This
morning, pantyliners were opposite socks and undies, just down from
deodorants and shampoo. Next week, who knows?

That's why I question the validity of the test...actually, I'm not much of a
cafenista at all, but I do like a certain brand of flavored instant stuff...and
of their eleven flavors, the ones I prefer are the coconut and the amaretto....r |

That was fun, even if my real answer to most of the questions would have
been "none of these". Apparently, I would prefer French roast, whereas,
in fact, I mainly drink an Italian roast - not Folger's of course.

If there is one, it's nothing that buying a roll of duct/duck tape with
them can't fix. Real men don't need bandaids.

Whether to use "duct" or "duck" in reference to the tape seems to be
unresolved for the buying and using public. (The manufacturers will do
what they will, including the use of caps.) I think we in aue have
pretty much determined that the two names represent the same basic
product.
I suggest "duc" for common use. French-wise, it suggests respectable
roots.
